Supporting regulation, connection, and emotional safety for all children
Children’s behaviour and learning are shaped by their experiences of safety, connection, and regulation. Trauma-informed practice is not only important for children who have experienced adversity – it benefits all children, educators, and systems as a “do no harm” approach.
This session provides an accessible, practical introduction to understanding the impact of traumatic experiences in early life, their effects on the nervous system and a child’s view of the world, self, and others, and how this shapes the needs of a child. This is quickly followed by clear guidance on how to apply this knowledge through everyday language, routines, practice, and policies.
Dr Louise Mansell co-developed a trauma-informed approach to demonstrate its benefits for all students, not only those impacted by trauma. Dr Mansell is a Clinical Psychologist with over 15 years of experience. She previously led a Children in Care team within the NHS before co-founding and directing the social enterprise Beyond Psychology in the UK. Louise played a key role in developing and delivering a trauma-informed school approach that integrated therapeutic techniques across entire school systems. She later expanded access by developing an online academy for nationwide use. Louise brings together her extensive research and clinical experience to inform her work.
In this session, educators will learn:
- How stress, attachment, and regulation influence young children’s behaviour and learning
- How to interpret behaviour through a lens of curiosity and emotional development
- Ways to create environments that feel curious, containing, empathic, and predictable
- Practical strategies that support children’s capacity for regulation, confidence, and engagement
Educators will leave with:
- Trauma-informed strategies that are easy to embed into daily practice
- Increased confidence responding to challenging moments
- Tools that support wellbeing across the whole setting
Suitable for early learning settings seeking to strengthen emotional wellbeing, inclusion, and educator confidence.
